how high do you rev up before moving from a full stop?

[wj4]

just curious to see how other ppl are doing this. i hardly rev at all, lol. the car idles at 800-900rpm and i rev to about 1100-1200 rpm when in 1st gear going from a full stop. most of my friends rev up to 2k-ish before they start moving.
i guess i dont gas up more because it kinda became my habit. my parking spot is next to my neighbor's car and when i go home, i would always rev BARELY enough to go in and not stall because i set off his car alarm, lol.

[oct7th1987]

i hardly rev at all either. just to about 1100 and i'll start moving.

i think people that rev up to 2000+ are letting the clutch out late

[alan678]

Haha...just saw this on EvoM...

I have been wondering the same thing...i go about 1200 rpm...

[rammsteinmatt]

~15-2k.

the car shudders mean if i dont rev it and slip it. and im sure a bigger turbo isnt really helping either. i try to keep the RPMs low, but fk me if im gonna kill my clutch because its doing something wierd. wouldnt it be just awesome if i glazed the surface of the plate and i had to replace the clutch?

[Dagul]

Most of the time, I usually roll right off the clutch from a dead stop on level roads and declines... If it a decline is deep enough, I can take off in 2nd or 3rd just rolling off clutch...

On inclines and reverse, I'll blip it once or twice before I slip the clutch...

[310]

~1200 RPM.. I hardly rev at all and I drive like a grandma on top of that.

[Ricardon]

I hold 6k RPM, sidestep the clutch on green and yell NOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSS as I tear off.

[blkside]

Rich whats up pimp... what the hell you up to.. You still trying to pull that money in... Got my car yet....lol Hey I need to break my car in and was thinking about a romantic drive up PCH...wanna go....LOL

[nlakind]

1100-1200 RPM...Good post, I've thought about that quite a bit..

[silex]

You guys go by rpm numbers?! I do it by sound. I believe it was a C#.

[tabio42]

I hold 6k RPM, sidestep the clutch on green and yell NOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSS as I tear off.


SMOKE HIM!!!

[Absinthe]

me too, only i feather the brake until i get a nice cloud of smoke, then i go.

Heh, I'ma go do that in the Evo until I get it right.

[Absinthe]

you might need the F&F rwd evo to make it easier

[k2da_izo]

Will hold at 6500rpm till I smell burning clutch ha ha! No seriously, probably around 1000-1200 rpm as long as I'm not bogging the engine or it shakes as if it's ready to stall :-P

[trinydex]

it really depends on how fast you wanna leave the stop right? you can't clutch out fast when yuo're at 1200 it'll bog the car. you have to be at least at 2k. if you're just mosying around 1.2k is fine.

Absolutely. If I'm not going to be doing any jackrabbit starts, then yeah, the car pretty much bogs as I ease off the clutch. Just habit, I guess.

[tabio42]

It's nice to be able to set your stationary rev limit. That way you always hit 5000 rpm before you start moving.

[*chris*]

It's nice to be able to set your stationary rev limit. That way you always hit 5000 rpm before you start moving.

lol i was thinking along the same lines ....launch at every stop.

in all actuality, im along the lines of trinys post

[evobeaner]

1200 - 1800 with exedy twin plate.

[say when]

seems like most of you let out the clutch barely past idle. Do you enjoy the bog? With the twin disc setup you will have horrible chatter at 1200rpm and with the a/c your looking a stalling unless you ride the clutch.

[cky_bam_marg]

hell i use my a/c and with my non existant turbo power i usually rev to 2-2.5 and just babying it :-P, hell its worst when i have a full car of passengers thats when i just launch everywhere on my redline :roll:

[KioIX]

i take it to 1300-1500 because of the BOV, i dont have it recirculating, i used to stall REAL easy, but now its alright. i guess im just used to it. how anyone have aproblem starting at 2nd gear with a MR?
kio

[Visco]

1200-1500 like most others. From a cold soak, I usually rev it a little more for the first 1 or two starts otherwise I get nasty clutch chatter.

[R3dline]

1200 - 1800 with exedy twin plate.

+1

[ernald711]

anywhere before 1500.

[rsquared_ii]

if you release the clutch slow enough you wont even bog your revs will stay the same and you go...my car idles at 900 or so and i juss release the clutch slowly enough so when it bites the engine compensate n it goes, no bog at all and it does go over 1k...well thats how it is for me

[Muramasa]

Did you know you can start your car in 3rd? I forgot which gear I was again when it happened... I thought I broke something. I started it from 1-1.3k rpm -_-....

[k2da_izo]

I've done that a couple of times when I was spacing out...
Nice to know we've got TORQUE!

[OCEVONERD]

nice posts. i've wondered this myself. i do from 1200 to 1500 depending on which shoes i'm wearing :)

[SpdyEvo02]

800rpm

[MRIslandStyle]

+1 I do the same

[dabie]

I rev up as little as possible now, hardly ever go into boost... DD'ing the evo through the 405 traffic is really putting a hurt on my wallet

[j_nizzle]

15-20K


ok wtf!? evos dont even rev that high....ban!

too many people have their panties in a bunch for me to get any position except useless postwhore. if i were a mod, i can honestly say, my performance would consist of mostly moving, locking, and banning. even now, i say anything and i get pm's of hate, open expression(usually consisting of "fk" or some version before and after every relevant word) in the thread, or people taking what i say way too personally. it's the intardnet! get over yourself!

Hey Jay, you have a very good point! You are well versed and I can tell that you're an educated person! But we all know the EVO's cannot rev 15-20k not unless you have a crazy cam duration of 350+ and a hella small sprocket gears. Maybe if the car was was a NA and had a compression of 15:1....lol.

My point is that the guy just misposted the 15-20K rpm's. I'm sure he meant 1500-2000K's. I don't even look at the tach when I take off. By sound is good enough.

[j_nizzle]

like i said before bro, if he had read the thread title, maybe he would have posted something more relevant. i can understand where the mistake comes from, but it's not his only fk-up in typing.

he's already been banned from the site for useless posts and all his posts were deleted.

[boostinbyyou]

ANYWAYS!!!!!...*valleygirl accent*...

6200.....

feather a bit....

mash it....

get to second gear and shut er down...

*signs ticket*.....

[LiquidLife]

My Evo IX will shudder a little bit if I don't rev high enough, especially if it's cold. You know, I don't usually look at the RPM's when shifting, so I'm not really sure, it depends on how fast I want to take off.

It will change when I get a new performance clutch installed, will be reving much higher, cuz it won't slip like the stock clutch, (Why didn't Mits give us a better clutch to start out with???)

hehe, you messed up too... 1500-2000K's? :)

[ziggity]

I'm with the other 1.5-2k guys. Nearly every stop sign here is slightly uphill for some reason..

[EVOcrazy]

~2K... cuz I hate bogging it... forget about fuel mileage economy :D

[white9]

hmm.. i duno :D i rev it to were it almost stalls lol maybe 1100 or 1200??

[smokinevo9]

my evo's automatic....................

[oxyi]

1.5-2k

lower than that, im going to stall for sure !

[Fishy Drift-Evo]

i go by sound, and depending upon whether i'm at an incline, have the a/c on, or am loaded down with other passengers often causes for different rev launches. normally, my guess if i were to go by what is shown on my tach is at least 1500-2000. and imho this seems to be a decent range for daily driving. once again this all varies given the various circumstances.
my$0.02

[vortech_g35]

I go to 2000-2500, Twin Carbon + Big Turbo.

[JDMboi]

i use my launch control when im going to roll ya meen ......lk 1500-1800 rpm

[onepremiere]

5500-6000 RPM with a Clutch Dump, normal routine, just about every light.

[Dirty Harry]

100-102

[melachu]

For me its between 1100-1200rpm. Up a hill, its at 1500rpm.

[hiimbasic]

i just got my 8 and it came with a exeddy twin disc. so like 1.5k+ for sure.

I could start in 5th as long as I let out the clutch just a little bit and let it slip for a while...

[MenacingEvo]

well it also depends on the clutch you have, for me must be at around 2000rpm. Clutch too damn stiff.

[wayne]

I drove a vehicle once that I could start out in 6th gear. But it was really for racing even though Top Gear did race tractors once.

[Robdog]

1 rpm above stalling..

[Ixse]

lol who cares.. just don't ride on your clutch.. we aren't like machines.. just enough so you can get going and it probably varies a little everytime lol

[dabie]

i try to be as gentle on the clutch as possible.. i've heard of ppl getting like 80k on the stock clutch so it can happen..

[4G63 FEVER]

1 rpm above stalling..


HAHA too funny!!! Depends if it's on a hill or not. If not it's nothing just to let it go at idle. I have 71K on my stock clutch and it does slip a bit if I launch hard but not otherwise.

[Robdog]

I remmember being able to let the clutch out at idle when the car was new..It would roll and roll and just not stall..

Riding the clutch in first is the main culprit when it comes to killing a clutch..
I have a friend with 70k on his exedy twin and he races like a mothofocker! he even does burnout's before he lines up at the drags and autoX's frequently..

[littlejap33]

i start off at 1.3k-1.5k almost stalling

[MR420]

Gotta take off at 1.5-1.9k or I get the shakes.

I got 25,000 miles on my stock clutch right now it still grips good.

[javicracer]

7K

[me like jello]

i start off at 1.3k-1.5k almost stalling


really? for me i usually start from 1k to 1.2k with no problem. many people i know let of the clutch a bit later cuz they'd prefer the reassurance that they won't stall. for me i usually release the clutch to the disengagement point then start giving gas.

[MJCT9A]

I usually revv till 10k...

Necro BUMP

BTW, I almost stall my car sometimes too, I try to preserve my baby.

[2muchb00st]

when my stock clutch was still good,iwould be right around 1700-1800.but now that its slipping i have to rev up to 2100 so it wont bog and stall..

[335eater]

it depends, with the ac on it seems almost like i have to launch the fucker to get it to move lol

[LiquidLife]

Just redirect the ac into the intake and you'll be fine :D

[Azian]

hmmm id say 1200-1400ish witha stock clutch I could do it under 1k rpms all day lol

[Robdog]

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUT LOAD ON THE TRANNY AND CATCH IT BEFORE IT STALLS

SLIP THE CLUTCH THE MOMENT THE RPMS DROP FROM IDLE

A GOOD DRIVER CAN BE OFF THE THROTTLE ENTIRELY.. THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE AWAY FROM A STOP.. USING THE BRAKE AND CLUTCH

SO 1 RPM ABOVE STALLING IS THE RIGHT RPM :)

yeah i start moving from idle with any clutch. i dont know about all these guys gassing gassing to move. i get it, your exhaust sounds cool.

i slip the clutch on my car then start pressing the go pedal

oh and since im posting here anyways, i try to just get my car going with the clutch unless im on a steep hill

[jamesinger]

whoa, every few months, this thread gets some new life into it.

I rev to 10k and then just close my eyes and pop the clutch out but my friend holds the steering wheel because it scares me.

[monckee]

1300-1800. Maybe 2k if there is an incline. Stupid light flywheel.

[RobDizzle]

I let my clutch out half way and just ride that bitch for 5 secs at every stop light

[monkeywinky]

1.5k as i engage the clutch. i try to be as smooth as possible. i also dont rev much because i want my clutch to last ^^

[Saberwolf]

I rev just enough to prevent stalling and bogging.Â* I don't look at the tach and just go by the feel.Â* It's annoying when I "over rev" and have to slip the clutch a bit to get in gear.

I know that on FWD cars, you don't need any accelerator input at all to get in gear.Â* Just slowly release the clutch until it grabs and then the engine will compensate and slowly propel the car forward without touching the gas pedal.Â* This might work for RWD cars too but i doubt it will work with AWD trannys.Â* Of course this isn't practical for street driving, but it was interesting for me to know it's possible to get in first gear without the gas pedal on FWD cars.

[ToeKneee!]

about 1k...people say you gotta rev it a bit to get it moving

[pikadosboy]

11k before I dump the clutch, tnx for the necro bump.

[misterevo8]

I maybe rev it only to 1000 or 1100.
